Mmorpgs suck. Why?

Good day!

Today I had a discussion with a friend about the state of mmorpgs and how they all seemingly fail to distinguish themselves from the WoW norm. Quite frankly it pisses me off.

WoW is an amazing game. It is WoW. Why other mmorpgs have to follow the exact same formula is a mystery to me. You would think that they have learned by now that it does not work. Only WoW works in that format because Blizzard has perfected it. It is what they do.

Anyways, the most recent games that I have played that are even just a little bit different are Tera online and Darkfall. And lets face it, neither of those games are perfect. They are good. But not great.

Darkfall is also being relaunched soon but since Aventurine is such an incompetent developer the date is being pushed back over and over. If it was one thing I learned during my stint with the original Darkfall it was that you can not trust Aventurine at all.

And so here we are. A new mmorpg is being launched called Neverwinter. Guess what is about. ;)

Still in closed beta for now it will certainly be "interesting" to see how it turns out. Have high hopes for this one? I don't.

Take care everyone!

Tera Online Free to play

Yo!

I always had a very lackluster interest for mmorpgs. I used to play WoW alot and after it got boring no other mmorpg has been able to keep me interested. I do think it is mainly because the combat always suck. They always seem to use tab targeting and I really do hate tab targeting.

Ive been playing Tera Online on and off for a while and I have to say that it is somewhat refreshing since the combat system is more action oriented. You actually have to aim at your enemy in order to hit and if you dont aim at them you will miss. Makes sense right? In other words it is up to you and not some hidden stat rolls that dictate hit or miss. I like it.

Tera is now Free to Play and hopefully this will mean more people on the servers. Well, atleast I will play it even if it is just casually. :)

Check out Tera here.


Peace!
